I just launched an app to make the caps lock key actually useful! It turns your caps lock key into a trigger for a stopwatch in your menu bar.
The app does not need Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission.
The inspiration came from personal difficulty. I use a stopwatch to track how much work I get done each day. This means I turn the stopwatch on whenever I am being productive, and have to toggle it dozens of times a day.
I tried several stopwatch apps, and even made one myself, but having to navigate to the menu bar each time to start / stop was frustrating when toggling so many times a day.
A couple months ago I saw a video talking about reconfiguring the caps lock key on windows to become useful, but macOS has limited customization options. This led to the idea for this app.
It has taken me several attempts to get it to work - including tons of failed approaches as well. Sometimes it would work in Xcode but not in production, but I finally got it to work reliably now!
The app is paid since it took me a lot of time to find the right approach to make it work, but if someone really needs a promo code please let me know and I will provide one in the comments.

Thanks for reading! (and if you have any other ideas with this concept you would want to see made feel free to share in the comments!) :)
